    \n
  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search<\/strong>. Or, if you are using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, and then click Search<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. In the search box, type Slui.exe 0x3.<\/li>\n
  3. Tap or click the\u00a0Slui.exe 0x3<\/strong> icon.<\/li>\n
  4. Type your product key in the Windows Activation window, and then click Activate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
